Alzheimer's

all about alzheimer's

Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia. It is a progressive condition, which means it gets worse over the years. Alzheimer’s usually starts with forgetfulness, but as it progresses, you can lose words, become disorientated and forget how to do everyday tasks like bathing and being able to manage finances. Personalities also change and people can become despondent, get frustrated, have mood swings, and experience paranoia.

Symptoms of Alzheimer’s can vary from person to person, depending on the parts of the brain that are affected. People who are close to you and see you a lot usually notice that you repeat questions, and become unable to organise or learn new things. The most common symptoms include:

Memory loss

Difficulty performing everyday tasks like preparing meals or making a phone call
